IMPROVEMENT lN CHURNS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 50,349, dated October 10, 1865.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN B. GHORMLEY, ot' Bellefontaine,in the county of Logan and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ghurns and I do hereby de clare that the following is a full and complete description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part ofthis specification, in' which Figure 1 is a top view. Fig. 2 is a side view. Fig. 3 is a vertical section. Figs. 4 and 5 will be referred to in the description.

Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several "iews.

-My improvement relates to a class of churns known as double-action, as hereinafter described.

In the drawings, A represents the frame that supports the tub A and beveled gearing.

b is a belt that turns on the pulleys b b,

the churn being operated in the ordinary manner by a crank, d. The pulley b.is on one end of the driving, shaft 1), on the other end of which shaft is the beveled gear-wheel D, that works in the beveled gear-wheels G C.

To the gear-wheel O is attached a hollow shaft, (1, to which the tub is fastened. The

shaft a passes through and turns in the hollow a and up through the tub, as seen in Fig. 3, to which the dashers are attached, and by which means they are operated. The wheel G turns the tub in one direction while the wheel 0 is turning the dashers in the opposite direction, thus greatly agitating the cream.

B is a corrugated dasher, across which dasher, at right angles to each other, are arms 0, that are connected to the shaft a and hold the dasher in place when it is in motion.

B is a dasher that forms a rim, which rim fits round a corrugated center piece, 6, fastened to the tub. From this rim arms '5 extend out and then turn upward, being twisted so as to present more surface for the agitation of the cream.

Difi'erent forms of dashers may be used, if desired. One form is shown in Fig. 8, being a top view of the dasher, and in Fig. 5 the perspective view of another form.

The tub is made to turn, but if desired it may be stationary and only the dashers turn. In this case the beveled gearwvheel 0 would not be necessary.

Substantially the same devices can be applied to washing clothes, and either of the forms of dashers used.

WhatI claim as my improvement, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

lhe arrangement of the circular currugated dasher B and dasher Bror their equivalents, in combination with the corrugated center 6, tub A, and hollow shaft a, when operating in the manner and for the purpose set forth.
